Yup - I've had my fair share of Lemons too. I had an astra - (That came from Scotland too). I bought it through a friend who checked it over for me so I hadn't even seen it. Brake disk cracked then a whole chunk of suspension mouting on the front rusted through and the rust was just all over the sills. So I applied some filler and sold it (the guy that bought it had no trouble at all with it and had 4 happy years!!!!).
Then there was my Rover - I spend thousands on that car - 3 engines, 1 gearbox. I counted it as a business expense but even my accountant told me to ditch it. With the money I spent I could have got a really nice car! As you explore the forum and site you'll see frequent references to my Rover - the car that started this site off! |
